I've driven by it a few times, and the sign has the worst font ever and I can't read it. Rule #1: use a font that people can read.mindspringyahoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04916299133467799390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-28220723787079178332012-09-24T17:17:23.910-04:002012-09-24T17:17:23.910-04:00@Anon & Miranda,

The fact that it's being privately funded ( by Fidelity Bank ) was an obvious indicator that it would not be QT or RT given they have inhouse finance departments for new construction. <br /><br />Thanks for your interest and for the comments.Atlantan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06115362060612910966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-53864926370049123492012-09-24T14:37:40.593-04:002012-09-24T14:37:40.593-04:00Racetrac isnt exclusively in the burbs... there...Racetrac isnt exclusively in the burbs... there's one on the westside of Atlanta, at Bolton Rd and Marietta Blvd.<br /><br />Miranda, as nice as it would be for a QT to go in that space, the lot is not nearly big enough, and it wouldn't be a RaceTrac... the previously mentioned RaceTrac is nearby.<br /><br />This is the first time I have even heard that it was going to be a gas station, which is fine by me. I'm just glad to see it's not going to be yet another furniture or suit store, or restaurant that would be closed on sundays and/or at dinnertime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-87406283531803368942012-09-24T11:37:40.174-04:002012-09-24T11:37:40.174-04:00I add this information only because it pertains to...I add this information only because it pertains to Buford Highway:<br /><br />The former Alvarados (just ITP) is now 'Tostones Latin Cafe'. <br /><br />Just OTP, at BuHi and Longmire, there was a Krystal, then it became French's Boots. The French's just closed. Poor boot place, I never saw any cars in the lot other than the employee or two that worked there. And they made the former Krystal pretty heinous, too.mindspringyahoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04916299133467799390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-60031590448371964802012-09-21T22:16:56.893-04:002012-09-21T22:16:56.893-04:00Here's another proposed for PowersFerry Rd.

I passed by the construction a few weeks ago myself but have thus far been unable to determine who will operate the station ( which branding ) I hope to have an update soon.<br /><br />Thanks for reading and for the comments!Atlantan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06115362060612910966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-21997710432945438842012-09-20T09:51:38.395-04:002012-09-20T09:51:38.395-04:00Although OTP, there is another RaceTrac under cons...Although OTP, there is another RaceTrac under construction at PIB & Jimmy Carter Blvd. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-90560255945438743872012-09-19T18:41:48.999-04:002012-09-19T18:41:48.999-04:00give me clean, fast, cheap c-stores anyday over th...give me clean, fast, cheap c-stores anyday over the dingy, grimy ones where you push money through a 2 inch thick sheet of bullet-proof whatever. <br /><br />i know for a fact that QT has built their entire business on having the lowest gas prices possible ... and obviously it's been a huge success for them.
